Exciting New Poster For Everyone's Most Anticipated Movie Debuts!

Wow, it's finally here. After following the film's development for years, it's finally here! No one could possibly be more excited by today's poster debut than me. I hope they do justice to the source material (marriage) and don't forget to have a little bit of fun with it too!

What are YOU looking forward to the most about this year's number one fun-for-the-whole-family, nostalgia ride movie experience??!

well now that this clearly means you'll be returning to goosebumps reviews (just like last post back in 2013) I'd better start rereading all of your posts and catching up on my blogger beware references. Oh, also, troy, did you officially approve this? http://www.feedbooks.com/userbooks/recent?penname=Troy+Steele&user=152097He seems to have taken down his one on the original goosebumps.

I most definitely did not, but people stealing content from this site and passing it off as their own is a long-standing internet tradition. At least my name showed up on that one. Where's that "Shame"-spouting septa when you need her?

On that note, before I make anymore episodes, can I have your permission to read your reviews on my podcast? "Listener Beware" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuJuI5Fc31w https://vimeo.com/115991249-I've been a big fan of your work, and I was made sure to cite you as the original source and point people towards this website. If not, I can cut it out, but PLEASE let me know either way!

Director714, for the time being, don't make any money off it and indicate that you are doing what you do in an unofficial capacity and I probably won't care. But I reserve the right to rescind my OK, so podcaster beware, &c

troy, back where I said if you approved those goosebumps abridged books: darn because at the end of the goosebumps 2000 abridged book, they changed the ending to "and with that I leave you. That is, until I cover the Horrorland series." If you had approved the book, I hoped that I could use this to get you to continue the blog. But looking at it now, it probably wouldn't have done much.

I'm looking forward to the redesigned Slappy, who looks, to quote a YouTube comment on the trailer, "like an accountant." I guess everyone's fanfic dreams came true: he married Amy, settled down, quit being evil and got a respectable job at last

I've been rereading comments on previous posts, and found that you planned to review the give yourself goosebumps books. Why didn't you? I'd be willing to donate the first 12 books in the series if it would get you to continue the blog.

so partially out of dedication, partially out of boredom, I've decided to make a blogger beware petition. Comment here if you want to see new blogger beware reviews/a reason why there will be no more blogger beware reviews and why we should go back to our normal lives.

well, now that there's a new post, I can move my "obviously going to return because of twitter" comments over to here. So, Troy has deleted his last twitter post. This must obviously mean he's returning. right noRIGHT NOW!

okay, in looking through the comments of revenge of the living dummy, when asked about creep from the deep troy said this: "It's just boring. I've had the first couple jokes written for over a year, haven't made it further yet. Someday I'll be moved forward". So all we have to do is move troy forward. .........................................................anyone have any ideas?

fortantally, goosebumps hall of horrors only lasted 6 books. The wiki considers hall of horrors to be apart of the horrorland series probably because the first book was called goosebumps horrorland hall of horrors. There's also yet ANOTHER SERIES after that called goosebumps most wanted. Then of course there's give yourself goosebumps, goosebumps tv books, the remade goosebumps books with special features in the back, the goosebumps tv show, and probably a bunch of other stuff I didn't list. So my point is, there's still much goosebumps left in the world to cover. You could even review the goosebumps tv show with the tv books which of what I've found, are basically the tv show episodes in book form even though they already had a book form to begin with. Also, is your creep from the deep review a lost entry like your the scarecrow walks at midnight review. If so, the blog will come back eventually right? Right?

well, I've finally finished reading all of blogger bewares previous posts, noticed even more pictures have disappeared making there close to no pictures on this blog, and also noticed that blogger bewares post about some other blog he had has now gone and most likely the blog itself, and still no new update. Well, again, there's still the give yourself goosebumps books to cover, troy. Also if your planning to do more reviews, then you should note that there's one (maybe two) more slappy books in the horrorland series, one of which has a MALE PROTAGONIST!!!!!!!

HOLY CORP, A NEW BLOGGER BEWARE TWITTER POST BLOGGER BEWARE RETURN CONFIRMED!!!!! Also, he might finally be getting around to fixing all those broken pictures. OR MAYBE GETTING PICTURES FOR A NEW RE okay I'll stop now. On an unrelated note, Troy, what would you call the posts on this blog. Reviews? They're kinda like reviews. I'm gonna call them reviews.

i have been following your blog for about a year now, and want to know how to come out to my family this year. you really can do this with me. im 13 and really need help. obviously we cant talk here but any help would be

Clark, I wish I was in a position to help you on this path, but it's a little out of my wheelhouse. If I have any advice, it's to be patient and understanding and hope for the same from your friends and family. I recommend you check out the Trevor Project, which provides a toll-free number, online chat, and text messaging 24/7 for young people just like you in situations just like this. Hopefully they can give you the help you need on this journey. Best of luck to you and thank you for reading the blog and reaching out.

I had a dream last night, where Blogger Beware started updating again, but troy stopped reviewing Goosebumps books and started reviewing video games. On a blog with the tagline of The Goosebumps Blog. Clearly this is some kind of futuristic prediction of Troy's true desire. Oh and then on the 10th anniversary of the blog troy posted a poem that had some kind of secret code hidden inside it, that if you uncoded it, it would reveal a secret message from Troy saying he would never review Creep From the Deep. Well, my Blogger Beware dream sequence almost got what we actually want from a Goosebumps dream sequence. "R.L.Stine said he would never write another book ever again, BUT THEN IT WAS ALL A DREAM!"

Well, to prepare for the Blogger Beware's 10 year anniversary, I've reread every entry on the blog... again. All's left now is to wait for the 10 year anniversary, which I'm hoping Troy will, at the very least, acknowledge. Now, after reading all the entries again, I have 2 comments. 1. the majority of pictures on the blog are still gone. Troy, you should probably get on that. 2. It's kind of sad Troy ended where he did, because I counted, and Troy has made 97 entries (well, 95 if you don't count if you count his retrospectives on Goosebumps and Goosebumps 2000, but I do.) If Troy had done 3 (or 5) more entries, he would've made it to 100. And also he never did the Give Yourself Goosebumps books, which I'm still kinda sad he never did. Who knows, maybe one day, Troy will get the momentum to start the blog up again. Then he can finish the Horrorland series, then do the Hall of Horrors series, the Most Wanted series, the Give yourself Goosebumps series, the T.V. books (which were probably the stupidest ideas ever made) or heck maybe the t.v. show in general. And lastly, he could do the entry that I'm sure we've all been waiting for: Goosebumps Triple Header book 1. After that...well I think that's about it...then Troy couldn't continue the blog now matter how much we plea. Man, I really dragged this comment out, didn't I? Well, see you in 8 days!

Well. Another twitter post. This one has a link on it. Obviously a reference to the fact that Blogger Beware will be updating... oh come on, don't you see it? Also, for a link that says "What updates with less frequency than Blogger Beware?" by now your twitter has updated more frequently than the blog troy.

HAPPY 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY BLOGGER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!......well, that's that. Doesn't look your acknowledging it, so I'll see you in a year for the 5th year anniversary of the last entry on this blog!...but seriously, nothing?

Well, why Blogger Beware's 10 year anniversary may have passed without event, the same can not be said for today, the 10 year anniversary of what is obviously the greatest movie of all time, and I sure everyone will agree, High School Musical. That movie stars a character named Troy. Coincidence?......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................yes.

Oh look, another Blogger Beware twitter post, and he also re tweeted someone elses tweet, and the whole thing is probably a reference to something that I don't know. And Blogger Beware has references I don't know. BLOGGER BELUMININATI CONFIRMED!

Oh now, Troy re tweeted something, that just CONFIRMS that blogger beware will update. In fact, I bet a new entry will be posted righhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht NOW!...well now I guess I gotta check to see if he updated.(checks) nope. Um... NOW! NOW! 54321 NOW! okay, I bet it will be posted tomorrow. (will Blogger Beware finally update a new entry after a 4 year hiatus? Find out tomorrow on Blogger Beware comments starring Anonymous.

You know 2012 was kind of a bad year for Goosebumps. Not only did Blogger Beware stop making entries, but there was another Goosebumps blog that reviewed Give Yourself Goosebumps books stopped making posts too. And in the actual books, they stopped making Goosebumps Hall of Horror books after only 6 books. Only 3 Goosebumps books were made in 2012: Don't Scream and The Birthday Party of No Return in Hall of Horrors, and Planet of the Lawn Gnomes. I don't remember anything about the Hall of Horror ones other than Don't Scream had nothing to do with screaming and Birthday Party of No Return had one scene at a birthday party, and it wasn't even a big scene. (Good names R.L.) and I haven't read Planet of the Lawn Gnomes, but just from the title, it's probably awful. I think that might have been the year that replaced the Goosebumps website from cool design to every website ever design. 2012 was supposed to be the year the world would end, but that has nothing to with Goosebumps so why am I mentioning it? And of course, 2012 is just one more year that Goosebumps continues to still be around. So why did I bring this all up? I don't know, I'm bored.

Troy, you can't fool us. You weren't merely the stand-in. You played the entire part of the invisible boy. The fact that R.L Stine was so terrified of him in the ending shows that it was you, as there's no one he finds scarier than Troy "Invisible Boy" Steele.

god dang it, I had another dream about Blogger Beware updating. A really...real...looking...one too (whatever the word is). But like all dreams I have about Blogger Beware updating, it involves Blogger Beware making weird blog choices. It had Blogger Beware making an ULTRA POST where he "reviewed" every book under the Goosebumps banner that he had not yet "reviewed" (Goosebumps Horrorland, Give Yourself Goosebumps, freaking everything) only the entries were nothing more than the brief synopsis (which were shorter than the Egg Monsters from Mars one) and the conclusion. No But the twist is, memorable cliffhanger chapter ending, not even the cover. And for some reason he split it up into 3 posts. BUT IT WAS ONLY A DREAM HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH(starts crying) speaking of which, I should check Troy's Twitter for any subliminal Blogger Beware is totally returning guys posts. (checks) nope. Bye!

Since the Goosebumps series shows no end in sight, perhaps it's proper that this blog remain in limbo. If Troy can't make it through Horrorland, I can't imagine what he'd make of Here Comes the Shaggedy and The Lizard of Oz.

Oh look another another twitter post, guess that will mean Blogger Beware will update because I started that. You know one of these days, Blogger Beware will post a new entry, and I'm gonna...read it...okay, I don't know where I was going with that. But I would give anything to see some Blogger Beware Give Yourself Goosebumps entries. Speaking of which, Troy, assuming you'll come out of this hiatus, why has it taken you this long to "review" a Give Yourself Goosebumps book? I mean, I know people that have read the GYG books but not the original books, they were just as popular. What I'm trying to say here is...I'm pretty sure I'm the only one who comments here anymore. I'm gonna go reread some Blogger Beware.

Wait, I just realized, perhaps there are secret messages in Troy's Twitter posts, and if we figure them out, it'll tell us when Blogger Beware will update. Okay, so let's see what his newest post says: "Gossamer hurler". According to Google, a gossamer is "a fine, filmy substance consisting of cobwebs spun by small spiders, which is seen especially in autumn." This may mean Troy is saying Blogger Beware will update in the autumn. Also, the Goosebumps book with a spider on the cover is Night of the Giant Everything, which was released on May 1st 2011, possibly showing that Blogger Beware will update on May 1st...of next year I guess. Or maybe this is all just a reference I'm not getting. On a side note, Troy, I've read Night of the Giant Everything, and it is a book that is just waiting for a Blogger Beware entry.

Well, I have reread every Blogger Beware entry...again. Apparently, I'm under the impression that if I keep rereading all of the entries, a new entry will be made. Well, at least I made it just in time for the 4 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF THE LAST BLOGGER BEWARE ENTRY... oh wait, I'm a few weeks late...eh, close enough.

Blogger Beware Twitter returns! And this time there's actually comments, let's take a look...people wanting Blogger Beware to return. Well, that was about what I expected...I think I'm trying to make a joke here, not sure what it is though.

TWITTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!have I done this one before?

The series lasted...roughly 4 years, wow. Despite that long time frame, the books were mediocre at best and down right fire-wood fuel at worst. The ending to Son of Slappy gave me flashbacks to the unfair endings from the first series

Is it necessarily a bad thing if Troy never posts here again? I mean, we already have his reviews for the first series and for 2000. Those are the ones we grew up with. The new books are also awful, but... so? Instead of "these are horrible, how could I like this as a kid lol" its just "these are horrible". I'd love to read some more stuff by Troy *nudgenudge*, but Blogger Beware at least has run its course.

Another obscure reference I'm not getting/cryptic hint of when the return of Blogger Beware will be twitter post. Also, is it just me, or does that image above the update status switch between being there and...not...being there?

So, I was rereading the last Blogger Beware entry, Revenge of the Living Dummy (which is one of my favorite entry's actually, at least Troy ended on a high note). When I was rereading the comments (lol people that can't wait for the next entry) I saw that Troy said he had the first couple of jokes written. Troy...could you just release those? I'd take those jokes, I'd be fine with it, just please give us something.

New (random?) Twitter post...you know, maybe Troy will update if we figure out what this post has to do with Goosebumps...uh...well, the Goosebumps movie was coming out around this point, so were we supposed to think he should be talking about...the Goosebumps poster? That could be it...NOW!

No new Twitter post, but I just wanted to say I found a list online that ranked all 62 Goosebumps books from best to worse, and actually put You Can't Scare Me at the VERY BOTTOM! And what was the very best in this guy's opinion? Welcome to Dead House...so, needless to say, the list kinda sucked.

3 days late, but there was a new Twitter post...that's all I have to say about that, but Troy, there's a question I've been wanting to ask. (you know, besides will there be a new update) Do you consider the Goosebumps/Goosebumps 2000 retrospectives as entries?

Well, for what is probably the 50th time, I have reread every Blogger Beware entry, only this time, instead of reading them in order, I read them down the list on the side. The majority of the images are still gone. I figure the least Troy can do is fix all the images, but then again, with all the images that are gone, that would probably be harder to do than actually writing a new entry.

A new Twitter post... you know, at this point I'd probably even take one of those random nothing to do with Goosebumps posts (like the one above) but than again, I remember my reaction to when the last one was posted: OH MY GOD, NEW BLOGGER BEWgod dang it Troy!

Not a retweet this time, so I can't say Even More Retweets n' stuff so I can't continue the kinda Goosebumps reference I was making. Well, I'll show you Troy, I can still make a kinda Goosebumps reference out of this...um...Goosebumps? (I put Goosebumps in Google Translate which was supposed to be the joke, but it turns out Goosebumps is Goosebumps in french, so I still can't make kinda Goosebumps references.)

Well, there's a new Troy Steele Twitter post, and this time, R.L.Stine himself responded to it, to show that he still doesn't get jokes made at his expense. And while Stine was responding to some other guy in the Twitter comments, maybe it's still a sign that even Stine wants Troy to continue the blog. So who knows what 2017 will bring us in Blogger Beware news? After all, it will be the 5th year anniversary of the last Blogger Beware entry, Revenge of the Living Dummy. And there is that Goosebumps Slappy World series coming out (which really rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?) maybe that's another sign? At the very least, we can probably expect a new post that has nothing to do with Goosebumps (it seems the pattern is every 2 years with those?) so I can look forward to peeing my pants in excitement, only to realize it's just a post about Chuck Norris or something. But who knows, maybe next year Troy will finally fix those broken images (cough cough)?

Wonder if Stine will ever reference Blogger Beware in one of his books, or even base one on it. Have the protagonist be a dashing and cunning snarky Blogger haunted by the forces of a terrible children's book author and his supernatural fiends who wish to ensure everyone becomes a dog or something and all car washes cost $5. A girl can dream...

New tweet. It says "I'm still crafting my incisive political tweet", and when I first started to read it, I thought he was going to say he was still crafting the next Blogger Beware entry, god dang it.

A random memory from "Give Yourself Goosebumps #5: Night in Werewolf Woods": You (Main Character) are at a camp/woodland resort with your neighbor, who brought his box of pewter figurines. Who brings their pewter figurine collection on vacation with them?

Hey, Troy, read "The Boyfriend" (one of Stine's young adult novels). It begins with the main character going to a mall and hiding, so she can watch her boyfriend be upset when she doesn't show up. And she calls her friend to boast about this.

Oh, crap, there are a lot of tweets now. Or rather, they're all re tweets...plus one normal tweet. Well, you know what they say: 5 retweets and 1 normal tweet makes a Blogger Beware entry...pretty sure that's how it goes.

Oh look, a new Twitter post! Let's talk about something completely different! Did you know that Blogger Beware has his own page on the Goosebumps Wiki? Although I guess it makes since, seeing as how they stole most of the plot summaries, it figures to give him his own page. They also seem very lax on what counts as trivia, as one of the pieces of "trivia" found in the Trivia section is "Several running jokes have evolved in the running of Blogger Beware."

Oh my God! I figured it out! I solved the mystery! For the hundredth time, I've been rereading the entries, but for the first time, a certain line in the Goosebumps retrospective caught my eye: "When the Horrorland series concludes, so will the blog." And what year did the Horrorland series conclude? 2011...HOWEVER! There are some people that debate whether or not the Hall of Horrors series was part of the Horrorland series, and in fact the first Hall of Horrors series was called Goosebumps Horrorland Hall of Horrors. And when did the Hall of Horrors series end? 2012! WHEN THE LAST BLOGGER BEWARE ENTRY WAS RELEASED! Now, some of you may be (for some reason) thinking: "But Anonymous user, the last Hall of Horrors book was in April of 2012, and the last Blogger Beware entry was released in June 2012!" And that is true...However the first Goosebumps Most Wanted book was released in October 2012 after the entry, and if you want to count it, That weird...pilot book for Most Wanted (What was that anyway?) was released JUNE 2012! So there you have it: Blogger Beware ended not because Troy got bored with it or something sensible like that, but he was just keeping to the word that he made back in 2008. I should really get a life...

Well, I've once again completed the journey of reading all the Blogger Beware entries...and now I'm back to be reminded how out of place this post was. I suppose we can start preparing for the 5th anniversary of the last Blogger Beware entry. Maybe Troy will make a post on this one, which can also double as his "1 random post every 2 years" post.

After a bit over a decade, Mr. Jacobus finally revealed the artwork for what would have been the cover of The Incredible Shrinking 5th Grader, final book series 2000. Seems a little too late but better late than never. Replace the rat on the cover with a spider and you've got Hall of Horrors #2 Night of The Giant Everything. So I guess Stine did eventually write the story. Eh
